For those who might have not recognized yet, we do have another coding competition here at PDRoms, running since 2nd April and it’s deadline beeing 31st May 2009. There is still plenty of time to get things going!

Coding on “closed” handhelds or consoles must not be a privilege; dozens of free development kits proof the opposite. The steadily growing “homebrew scene” produces unlicensed software for devices not meant to be open for everyone.

PDRoms has always been in the homebrew scene to support the creation of new homebrew software, support programmers and artists. To show our love to the homebrew scene once again, here comes the ninth PDRoms Coding Competition.

Interesting? Why not sharing with others?

Pyro is going to burn down those forests if its the last thing he does! He’s got quite a hot temper and an electrified personality! You control Koffi, the yellow helicopter. Koffi must defeat Pyro by bumping into him, being careful not to get fried by either the lightning or the raging fires! Koffi must collect rainwater from the clouds above and douse it on fire! Watch that tricky Pyro though, he doesn’t sit still and his different types of lightning are deadly! It’s a matter of timing and learning Pyro’s patterns to get enough rainwater collected to douse the fire, and destroying the storm cloud in the process!

Maintaining PDRoms is hard work and very time consuming. News don’t write themselves and also need to be found first. Furthermore donations will help us to pay the server and the domain. Additionally it pays the junk food consumed, while posting news and/or updating the files :)
